The San/Bushmen are one of the most studied people in anthropology,
subjects of research going back one hundred years, of documentaries,
and even of popular movies (The Gods Must Be Crazy). This intriguing
new work on the San is a team-based ethnography, collaborative (one of
the writers is married to a member of the community), reflexive (the
authors become characters in the book themselves), and literary (with
poetry, dialogue, interviews, photography, and first person accounts,
as well as traditional ethnographic description). In this book, South
Africans are studying other South Africans, in a new environment in
which many San are no longer hunter gatherers, but are activist and
engaged in cultural tourism. It will be an exciting counterpoint to
traditional ethnographies and stories about the San people, for
anthropologists and Africanists.
